Ccas Golf

2022-23

The CCAS Jack Newton Junior Golf Program was supported magnificently again by our course sponsors Shelly Beach Golf Club, Magenta Shores Golf Club and Kooindah Waters Golf Club, whose ongoing support the CCAS greatly appreciates.

The 2022/23 program included several Inter Academy Day with the Hunter Academy of Sport. The combined days were split between the Central Coast and the Hunter reigon, with each session having a different skill focus and progression all lead by Mark Ingrey. These session were designed to develop the athletes skills and strategic knowledge in preparation for academy games and further progression along the golf pathway. The athletes also had further education sessions on tournament preparation, practice, fitness preperations, sports psychology and sports nutrition.

Weekly sessions from November through to December, taking a break over the holiday season and returned in February and finished in April, most sessions were held at Shelly Beach Golf Club. Building confidence and getting everyone back playing the sport was key. The athletes were expected to go to as many tounaments as possible along with the combined days to get a lot of experience under their belts against good competition and to learn along the way.

Sessions were under the guidance and wealth of knowledge of Head Coach Peter Cliff. Guest appearances during our combined sessions meant the athletes were exposed to an abudnace of high quality coaches and different game analysis technologies. The squad had their Golf Swing Analysed with video feedback and areas of correction for the athletes to work on as well as a couple of sessions with Zac Churcher at his driving range working on swing mechanics and technique.

The Golf Squad also had a Functional Movement Screening from Coast Sport, where the squad were put through a range of movement patterns, particularly relevant for golf and were assessed and graded.

The results of the screening have revealed asymetreies that the athletes can work through their Strength programs.

The program concluded with Academy Games, in which was played at Wagga Wagga Counrty Club on day 1 and at Tummit on day 2. A two-day tour where the athletes started in a shotgun style format which definitely put the squads to the test.

Many thanks to those who shared their time and expertise with the Squad this year with a big thank you to Peter Cliff from Shelly Beach Golf Club, Zach Churcher from Pioneer Golf Performance Centre, Mark Ingrey and Heath Canning from JNJG. For the CCAS athletes to be able to work so closely with these talented coaches only enhances their skill set and the overall Academy experience for all athletes.

CCAS HOCKEY & UMPIRES

2022-23

The 2022/23 CCAS UAA Hockey Program has had a successful year with many high standard young athletes contributing to a continually developing high quality training environment throughout the program. The group of ten (15) boys and sixteen (16) girls trained weekly at the Wyong Hockey Complex, directed by Head Coach Brett Johnson.

The program ran from October through to April concluding at Your Local Club Academy Games. Education sessions included Sports Psychology (Your Path to Success, and Help out a mate), Drugs in sport, Strength and Conditioning and Nutrition, to best prepare the athletes for further representative levels within the hockey pathway and what is required to perform at the optimal level.

The athletes participated in our inaugural “Education/ Testing Conference”, with the focus on collecting performance based objective data to help with our strength and conditioning sessions as well as track the team’s improvements across the course of the season as well as educating them on the importance of health recovery along with nutrition and psychology.

The squad attended an Inter Academy Matchplay day in Late January with the Hunter, Northern Inland and North Coast Academies of Sport. The squads received on field training with specialist coaches, education sessions to encourage positive lifestyle choices and enhance performance and had many matches during the day. Later in February, Central Coast, Hunter, and Sydney Metro Squad came together for a day on the pitches filled with plenty of game play to practice what they had been learning and developing over the course of the season at that point. The day was a huge success, a great development opportunity that held on the Central Coast to continue to develop the comradery and skills of all athletes that were involved.

The program concluded in April at Your Local Club Academy Games, the development of the athletes and knowledge had across the season was on display at the games. We saw the Boy come close to gold but coming away with sliver and the girls winning some of their first games in 5 years. A huge thank you to the amazing coaching and management team that have led the way with the CCAS Hockey program and whom have built it to this point we are now at.

The 2022/23 CCAS UAA Hockey Umpires Program has had a successful first year. The group of two (2) boys trained weekly at Wyong Hockey Complex, under the direction of Head Coach Justin Wicks. The program ran in alignment with the hockey program, with sessions going from November through to April concluding at Your Local Club Academy Games.

The Hockey program shared sessions with our Umpires as some of our selected Umpires were dual sport athletes. With Justin leading the way through the program, umpiring at a national level himself the athletes refined and developed their skills across the course of the program with the incorporation of game simulation at almost every training session.

The athletes cultivated their skills throughout February in game play conditions, umpiring at both and the Hunter combine Academy Day as well as the one hosted on the central coast with Sydney Metro squad.

Indigenous Talent Id

Underwriting Agencies Australia (UAA) again was fully supportive of the Indigenous Talent ID (ITID) Program. This level of support is the solid foundation that lays the groundwork to give Central Coast Academy of Sport the capacity to help these young athletes grow and help them reach their full potential. To add to this support POCHE Indigenous Health Network have continued their support as a secondary sponsor to continue to help not only grow this event but support local Indigenous athletes.

The unfortunate news in 2021 was that CCAS did not have the ability to run the Indigenous Talent ID Day, due to COVID restrictions and lockdowns. CCAS however ran two days in 2022 to ensure no athletes miss out, one in April and one in November held at Breakers Stadium, with over 120 students registered and attended to participate in a variety of sports offered. The CCAS once again received outstanding support from the AFL, Golf, Netball and Basketball representatives. The response from the region in terms of students attending was some of the best to date.

As per the previous years, an Indigenous Talent ID 6 Week Training Program was offered to selected athletes in term 3 2022 and term 1 2023, these athletes gained access to Mingara One and were shown different training styles each week. The CCAS would like to thank Mingara One for their support. The training sessions all took different forms including a spin class, athletics sessions at the track, basketball session, netball session and some strength / challenge-based gym sessions.

The CCAS would like to acknowledge the support provided by Matt Sonter to help facilitate the program throughout Central Coast schools. The CCAS also wishes to thank Michael Murphy the CEO of Underwriting Agencies Australia, the support by UAA has provided a program and extension that is otherwise not available to the indigenous population.

Ccas Netball

The Central The Central Coast Academy of Sport 2022 Greater Bank Netball program provided a high-performance training environment for a selected squad of pre-elite netballers that reside on Central Coast. The program is Led by head coach Jessica Morgan, assistant coaches Cathy Watson, Lee Starkey, and squad manager Donna Judge, the 2022 CCAS Netball program achieved fantastic results across the course of the year.

The year started with sessions throughout the first block, spanning from December through to April. During this period the squad was exposed to numerous high intensity sessions from match play during RASI Camp through to the M1 clash between Newcastle and Central Coast at Academy Games. Not only this but it also saw our athletes and coaches attend Aspire day to assist in giving back to our younger netballers coming through.

Block 2 of the program found the athletes this year back on the court instead of locked down. The athletes and coaches were able to build on what they had started to learn and work on during block one. The girls managed to fit in 6 sessions in block two in preparation for the academy challenge, which hadn’t been run for two years due to lockdowns and covid. The sessions were not only focused on strength and conditioning, education, skill, and footwork, but games, scenarios and much much more.

2022 saw all the program return to some normality and remain face to face during the second block. It displayed a high level of commitment and resilience for the girls along with plenty of fun. The end of the second block saw the CCAS girls head to Port Macquarie for the academy challenge, which was seen to be very competitive and enjoyable environment. A few words from Jess (head Coach) on how the weekend played out:

“The first day of the tournament saw the athletes placed into teams with athletes from other academies to play in what is called “Challenge Day”. They got to meet new people from different academies, play alongside them and receive coaching and feedback from a different coach. How cool is that!! But, to say there were a few nerves would be an understatement! This was brand new for everyone. After a few reassurances that everything would be fine and encouragement to try to enjoy the day, I saw their confidence and determination start to shine. I think everyone would agree that it was a great day and that they took a lot out of that experience.”

“Both teams were placed in challenging divisions and had their work cut out for them from the first whistle. We talked about how to implement our game plan, setting individual goals and also being reminded to have fun of course. Determined in every way, the girls were courageous and focused to do their best and they really did indeed. Our Division 1 team had 3 wins and 3 losses over the two days of competition. Our Division 2 team battled their way through some tightly contested losses and snagged a deserving win in their last game. Beyond the wins and losses, it was just amazing to see the teams and individuals play great netball and achieve some of their personal goals. Speaking of personal accolades, I need to recognise the achievement of Jeorgia Bourke who was voted MVP of the entire Division 2 - Green pool! Amazing effort, Jeorgia and so well deserved! Lastly, a huge congratulations (and a big thank you!) to Mia Smit and Carmen Smit, our amazing Team White, who both received their National C-badge at the tournament! Well done girls on a great weekend of umpiring! “

Highlights for the CCAS 2022 Netball program include:

- The athletes having the opportunity to help at the Aspire Day with Sam Poolman followed by match play with Hunter Academy.

- The athletes having the opportunity to take part in the 'RASi Camp' and having access to be trained by some of NSW's top coaches as well as Suncorp Super Netball players.

- Competing at the Academy challenge in Port Macquarie for the first time in a couple of years

Thank you to the primary partner of the CCAS Netball program Greater Bank, the venue support through the Central Coast Grammar School and Netball NSW who continue to greatly support the Academy programs and the junior development pathway.

Ccas Netball Umpires

2022-23

The Central Coast Academy of Sport’s 2022 Greater Bank Netball Umpires program provided an imperative pathway program for local aspiring umpires. After the applications were assessed and trials conducted CCAS accepted three (3) applicants to join the 2022 program.

The umpires program shadowed a similar training regime to that of the netball program. The umpires received expert coaching from Head Coach Abby Holloway who has extensive experience umpiring at an elite level for an extensive period.

The year started with sessions throughout the first block, spanning from December through to April. During this period the squad was exposed to numerous high intensity sessions focusing on skill development and techniques. There were two (2) of the three (3) selected to attend academy games to umpire throughout the three-day tournament to help refine some of the game play scenarios that were practiced at training.

Block 2 of the program found the athletes this year back on the court instead of locked down. The athletes and coaches were able to build on what they had started to learn and work on during block one. The girls managed to fit in 6 sessions in block two in preparation for the academy challenge, which hadn’t been run for two years due to lockdowns and covid.

The end of the second block saw the CCAS girls head to Port Macquarie for the academy challenge, which was seen to be very competitive and enjoyable environment. A few words from our coach – “A huge congratulations to Mia Smit and Carmen Smit, who both received their National C-badge at the tournament! Well done girls on a great weekend of umpiring!” - Abby

This wouldn’t have been possible without the full support of the coaches and managers. A big thank you to the primary partner of the CCAS Netball program Greater Bank, the venue support through the Central Coast Adventist School and Netball NSW who continue to greatly support the Academy programs and the junior development pathway.

Ccas Triathlon

The Central Coast Academy of Sport Crowne Plaza Triathlon program is a part of the Triathlon New South Wales Development Pathway and has been designed to aid in the transition between local and club representation and the Triathlon New South Wales Emerging Talent Squad.

The Triathlon squad for 2022/23 consists of 10 athletes: 5 boys and 5 girls. The coaching line up for 2022/23 was Head Coach - Robyn Low-Hart, and Assistant Coach - Tia Hart

The program commenced with a combined camp with Hunter Academy of Sport at Point Wolstoncroft. The Camp consisted of Nutrition Education, Psychology Education, Running Mechanics Analysis from the team at Drs In Motion, as well as Strength and Conditioning and plenty of skills and breakdowns of micro skills involved in Triathlon.

A bicycle skills and swim session was held at Mingara Recreation Club utilising the Legends carpark and swimming pool to help the athletes at the beginning of the program and to prepare the athletes with draft legal endorsement for the bike leg as well as becoming race legal in the prep for the Biligence Pathway Series kicking off. A major focus of the program this year again was The Triathlon NSW Biligence Pathway Series. In light of limited and modified racing opportunities that have occurred over the last couple of years, the series consisted of Six (6) events with the objectives of safe, cost-effective racing that align with the race demands of National and International competition. CCAS Triathlon squad travelled to various locations in NSW and ACT to compete in the series.

A Functional Movement Screening (FMS) was performed individually at Coast Sport in Tuggerah, with its focus to pinpoint strength and weaknesses of each athlete in the program. The FMS results were used to develop a strength program to alleviate any asymmetries and with a focal point of counteracting the athletes weaknesses, enabling the athletes to address areas of concern and enhance performance.

Athletes were provided with educational components that included Sports Nutrition, Clean Sport 101, AntiDoping and Psychology around performance. The program concluded at Academy Games, which split into two days of racing.

CCAS would like to acknowledge and thank the support of Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific, Central Coast Triathlon Club, Triathlon NSW, Mingara Recreation Club, Mingara One Fitness, and Coast Sport.
